About
As a phono-semantic compound, 披 combines the hand radical 扌 on the left, indicating a manual action, with 皮 (pí, "skin") on the right, which primarily provides the phonetic element. Its core meaning involves physically unrolling or spreading something open, like a scroll. This action naturally extends to draping or putting on clothing, such as a cloak. The sense of opening also expands metaphorically to mean splitting something apart or opening a book to read.
